    That's a crap shoot. Contact Cragar and ask em. Some of the old vintage 14" aftermarket wheels don't clear the calipers.

    Agree, some 14" fit and some don't. In your favor is the steel wheel like a Crager is thinner, verses a thicker mag style wheel like a slotted US Indy.

    Years back, for many cars when adding after market wheels it was routine to grind off and trim down an edge on a clipper to make them fit.
